In the distant times of Soviet childhood, the range of periodicals for children was limited to a few magazines: “Funny Pictures”, “Murzilka”, “Periwinkle”, “Tram”, “Young Naturalist”, and for those older, “Pioneer”, “Koster” " There wasn’t much to choose from back then; children happily read the magazines that arrived once a month by subscription, which the postman brought to their mailboxes.

Nowadays, the range of press published for children is so wide that parents sometimes find themselves in difficulty: what to buy for their child, how to decide and make a choice in favor of one or another publication. As a result, they often turn to already proven magazines from their childhood.

Funny pictures
This is one of the most popular publications from the USSR. Designed for the youngest readers, from 3 to 6 years. It is still published. It contains many large illustrations and a minimum of text. In the magazine, kids will find short poems and small stories, homemade products, riddles, puzzles, various tasks and comics. The difference between “Funny Pictures” and the new editions is that the design is not very bright. However, some psychologists see this as a plus: a riot of colors can cause excessive emotionality and excitability in children.


The oldest children's magazine. Published since 1924, it is addressed to children from 6 to 12 years old. Initially, Murzilka was a dog whose owner was the boy Petya.

Tram
Published in 1990-95. and at that time it was one of the most popular children's publications. It was quite difficult to get.

In addition to them, a large number of other magazines are published on the printed products market. If you wish, you can view them in the subscription catalogue. In any case, your child will benefit when you select a magazine for him to read in accordance with his age and interests. In addition, do not forget that there are also publications on the market that are not entirely suitable for children. Look at the kiosks for yourself and feel the difference. It is better to accustom your child to high-quality periodicals yourself from early childhood, rather than to be horrified by his choice later.

Summary: Leisure. Review of magazines for children. Children's magazine "Funny Pictures", "Filya", "Toshka and Company", "Svirelka", "Svirel", "Winnie the Pooh", "Mickey Mouse", "Tom and Jerry", "Barbie", "Magazine of Fairy Tales" ", "GOOG night kids!". Literary and entertainment magazine "Murzilka". Educational magazine for children "GEOlenok". Literary and educational magazine for primary school age "Prostokvashino". Educational almanac "Klepa". Children's nature magazine for family reading "Anthill". Magazine "Why?" Magazine about pets "Cat and Dog". Educational almanac "Children's Encyclopedia". Developmental magazines.

I remember that as a child, a real holiday was the day when the next issue of “Funny Pictures” appeared in our mailbox. Mom and I took the key and went together to get the treasure. This was our tradition. And then several hours or even days of enthusiastic leafing, reading and solving all sorts of puzzles. Later there were “Murzilka”, “Tram”, “Bonfire”.

Now the culture of reading periodicals in families has been lost. And few parents know about the existence of a lot of magazines for children. Meanwhile, the variety of printed children's publications on the Russian market has recently been so great that it is simply impossible to cover them all in one small review. And what makes us most happy is the fact that finally, from the covers of children's magazines displayed on trays and kiosks, the heroes of domestic cartoons and everyone's favorite TV shows have begun to look at us. However, first things first.

At the age of three, a child is already able to concentrate his attention, he has learned to think logically, he is interested in everything that happens around him, hundreds of “why?” and for what?" In addition, the time has come to seriously engage in the development and education of the toddler. And magazines for little ones help to do this in a relaxed and entertaining way, in a playful way.

"Funny pictures"

Some parents experience the deepest surprise when they learn that their childhood friends - the cheerful little men Pencil, Samodelkin, Thumbelina - are still alive and well on the pages of this magazine. True, the publication itself has changed slightly: it has increased in size and began to be printed on thick paper. There are a lot of large illustrations and a minimum of text. Just what the youngest readers need, who cannot yet concentrate on a long text for a long time. They are more interested in dynamics, quick changes of emotions. As before, humorous poems and short stories of modern children's authors and "classics" of periodicals coexist on the pages of the magazine.

There are sections with which you can make homemade items. And, of course, there are plenty of puzzles, riddles, labyrinths, and interesting tasks for kids.

The only, in our opinion, “minus” of “Funny Pictures” is that the design of the magazine is not bright enough compared to some other publications. However, some psychologists believe that children do not need a riot of colors: it provokes excessive excitability and emotionality.

The magazine will be of interest to children from 3 to 6 years old. The concept of the publication fully corresponds to the age-psychological needs of this age category of readers.

Our rating is 4+

The results of a survey conducted among preschoolers and primary schoolchildren show that most of all at this age children like to read about animals and nature. Do not deny your kids the pleasure of receiving comprehensive, “serious” answers to all these questions, and not excuses from the realm of science fiction. To do this, for example, take the magazine "Filya".

"Filya"

All from the same Publishing House "Funny Pictures". This is a small monthly publication about nature for children aged 3–7 years. Built on the same principle as "Funny Pictures". Lots of large illustrations, riddles, puzzles and short texts. But they are quite enough to satisfy the curiosity of young readers.

Our rating is 4+

"Svirelka" and "Svirel"

Do not confuse these two publications. Both of them are published by the publishing house "Veselye Kartinki", but if "Svirelka" is a monthly magazine about nature for the very little ones (from 3 to 8 years), then "Svirel" is also about nature, but for older readers (from 7 to 12 years old). The texts in it are written in a popular science style, adapted for schoolchildren. As illustrations - photographs.

However, it’s not difficult to remember, because “Svirelka” is smaller in size than its “bigger” sister. It comes out in A5 format - half a landscape sheet. Many children love her for this. The magazine is quite voluminous - 32 pages. And the paper is thick and high quality. In addition to meaningful short stories, stories, and poems about wildlife, “Svirelka” has coloring pages and an insert book that you can easily make yourself: take a few sheets out of a magazine, fold them in half and sew them together. Surely you yourself did this operation more than once in childhood - you collected a personal “library” from such “little books” on the shelf of a bookcase. There are a lot of funny puzzles and riddles in the magazine. There is also a homemade one. In general, "Svirelka" is worthy of your baby's attention.

Our rating is 5

"Toshka and company"

This is a "fun animal magazine" for children. But, as it seemed to us, a little older. 5 - 8 years old. There are also a lot of illustrations in it, and not only drawn ones, there are also photographs in Toshka. Short texts. The publication contains many riddles, logical tasks, and puzzles. There is a homemade product and even a poster with a photograph of an animal that a child can hang on the wall in the nursery with his own hands. If, of course, free design decisions by the younger generation are allowed in your home. Toshka also publishes drawings that readers send in their letters.

True, “Toshka” is printed on regular (not glossy) paper and, like “Funny Pictures,” it is not very bright.

The magazine is published by the Egmont Russia publishing house.

Our rating is 4+

"Winnie the Pooh"

And here is another magazine published by the same publishing house and similar in theme to Toshka. It's called "Winnie the Pooh". But you won’t find our beloved, clumsy, “Leonov’s” bear cub in it. Disney's Winnie the Pooh and, accordingly, all his American friends "live" on the pages of the magazine. It is customary for us to criticize everything American, but this publication is not the case. Unlike entertainment comic magazines with the names of Disney cartoons, "Winnie the Pooh" is quite educational. It is published under the slogan “Your magazine about nature,” but is absolutely unlike all the above publications.

There are bright illustrations, photographs of animals and very little text. Basically, young readers are offered developmental tasks for intelligence, puzzles, puzzles, and curious questions with which the child can test his erudition. The magazine also has coloring pages and DIY pages. All appeals to children come directly from the cartoon characters of the magazine, and this corresponds to the age-psychological characteristics of children’s perception of information.

If you noticed, basically all children's publications and programs are hosted by one or more permanent characters. They become good friends of readers, whom children trust and whose advice they listen to.

"Mickey Mouse", "Tom and Jerry", "Barbie" & C0

These and other comics magazines are also published by the Egmont Russia Publishing House. They were the first swallows of the publishing house to fly to Russia from America. And already in the 90s they gained enormous popularity among children who had never seen anything like it before. Until now, these and similar comics are in great demand among young readers. But, you understand, they cannot develop anything special in a child and are unlikely to perform a cognitive function. Yes, simple fun. But, of course, they do no harm. One of the classical psychologists even noted that children who love comics will later treat books with respect. Well, we don’t know, we don’t know. We can only say one thing: the comics of the Egmont Russia publishing house are, at least, much more colorful and harmless than their “analogs” about monsters and bandits, which have now proliferated, apparently and invisibly.

The age audience for comics is practically unlimited. They may be of interest to anyone who loves Disney cartoons. Although the publishers conscientiously note in the imprint: “For middle school age.”

Another publication for preschoolers will help you to kill two birds with one stone - to introduce a careless child to books and make a homemade product with him.

"Fairy Tales Magazine"

In each of its issues, it is worth noting, which is quite colorful, only one fairy tale is published. Interesting and, most importantly, instructive. Publishers carefully select material. Basically, these are time-tested tales of the peoples of the world that are useful for the heart and mind. And after you and your child read it, he will certainly want to cut and glue from the proposed diagrams some scene or object that was discussed in the fairy tale. Just don’t forget to set a condition for your child: we will make crafts only after we read the fairy tale and remember what it said. By the way, interesting work with your hands certainly evokes positive emotions in children, and they are the best way to help them remember new material. You will see that the “glued together” fairy tale will remain in the child’s memory for a long time. The magazine will be of interest to both preschoolers and children of primary school age.

"GOOG night kids!"

Magazines for preschool children. On its pages, your child will meet his favorite characters and spend more than a couple of minutes with them, as has recently become the case on television, but perhaps more than one day. In addition, he will hear from you or read a lot of funny stories and poems, will color, make crafts, solve riddles, puzzles, and answer questions. In the best traditions of literary and entertainment magazines for children. The magazine is published on high-quality paper, it contains bright, and, most importantly, pictures that are dear to the little ones’ hearts! The publication is addressed to readers aged 3 to 8 years.

This is where we will probably finish our review of periodicals for preschoolers. There are undoubtedly other baby magazines coming out, but not all of them are available for retail sale.

Magazine "Orange Sun" publishing house "Gamma"

The ability to draw, play music, dance, and write poetry in an album has always been an integral part of a good secular education and upbringing. By being creative, a little person stimulates the right hemisphere of the brain and trains all channels of perception (visual, auditory, kinesthetic). He enriches himself emotionally and broadens his horizons, becoming more charming and sociable. In other words, it develops harmoniously, which means that when it grows up, it will make any career faster and more successful. Not to mention the fact that he can become a real artist, poet or musician.

How to determine a child’s abilities, why to develop them, where to take him, what and why to buy for this, how to achieve this or that effect by doing creative work with a child? You will find answers to these and other questions in this magazine.

In our opinion, we have highlighted the publications that deserve the most attention from you. If you want more, take the initiative and look into the library or subscription catalogue. Believe me, in any case, if you yourself offer your child high-quality periodicals to read, he will only benefit. Otherwise, there is a chance that someday he himself, at the suggestion of friends and in search of interesting information, will look into “Hammer”, “Cool” and others like them. Take a look there too. Feel the difference. Then you will understand why it is necessary to introduce your child to high-quality periodicals from childhood and not skimp on his development.
